One、Can red wood furniture be covered with PVC mat?
PVC mats are made from PVC soft crystal boards, also known as soft glass. Can red wood furniture be covered with soft glass? Many people cover their red wood furniture with soft glass to protect the wood. However, this practice is actually incorrect. PVC mats have poor breathability and ventilation, which means they cannot protect the wood's surface over time, and eventually, the surface will become damaged.
Actually, laying soft glass is also feasible. However, due to ventilation issues, soft glass is not recommended. Nevertheless, we would like to suggest that when laying soft glass, you can place a layer of auxiliary material underneath. This will not only enhance the ventilation of the soft glass but also protect the surface of the rosewood. This approach offers both benefits.
Second, is glass or crystal film better for a red wood table?
1、Redwood desktops can accommodate glass, but it's important to consider ventilation. Placing felt pads in the corners of the glass will create a small gap between the glass and the table, promoting ventilation. The glass on redwood tables should be custom-made, with particular attention paid to rounding the edges for safety and aesthetics. Therefore, when purchasing redwood furniture, it's best to have the vendor provide the custom glass for you; attempting to do so yourself can be time-consuming and expensive.
2. Currently, there is another superior material available in the market: Crystal Film. The advantages of Crystal Film lie in its one side having a rough surface, which provides excellent breathability, effectively addressing contact issues with lacquer on red wood furniture. The other side is a glossy surface, allowing the wood grain of red wood furniture to be more prominently displayed.
Therefore, when using red wood furniture, it is recommended to apply a layer of crystal film, which can protect the red wood furniture while also highlighting the furniture's grain.
